The worst kept secret since CM Punk’s AEW debut has been confirmed.
DAZN’s Steven Muehlhausen is reporting that Mercedes Mone will indeed be Saraya’s partner next week in Los Angeles when the face Dr. Britt Baker, DMD, and AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter.
This has been heavily speculated for a few weeks but there have been no hints given on Dynamite because they couldn’t hint in that direction until she became a free agent and she would not have been able to sign a contract until after January 1st.
The former Sasha Banks debuted for New Japan Pro Wrestling last night at Wrestle Kingdom 17 in a segment with Kairi (Kairi Sane) and they will wrestle for the IWGP Women’s Title next month in San Jose. The belief is that Mone will do some dates for NJPW and her debut next week on Dynamite pretty much confirms that she is now under an AEW contract.
